What does “high tenant retention” mean on this Openigloo page?

It’s a building-level signal that points to tenants staying longer than you’d expect in the same market. Use it to shortlist, then confirm specifics (renewal options, typical changes to terms) with the building.

How does the “bxm2-bus” filter work here?

This scope targets buildings in the Upper West Side that are near the BXM2 bus route. Since proximity can vary by entrance and block, confirm the walk from your chosen unit to the stop you’ll use.

Are these buildings only on or directly adjacent to the bus line?

No. “Near” is used at the neighborhood scope level, so you’ll want to check the exact address and street-level access for your daily commute.

What should I verify before requesting a showing or signing?

Confirm the lease term, renewal expectations, any building rules (including move-in scheduling), and the full monthly cost after rent (fees/deposit and utilities or required services).

Do ratings and tenant Q&A on Openigloo reflect my exact situation?

They reflect renter experiences and building-level patterns, but your unit, timing, and contract terms can differ. Treat them as signals, then verify details with the building during the process.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

Why might two buildings with similar retention signals still feel different?

Retention can be influenced by many factors (building management practices, unit layouts, or how often terms change). Two buildings can share a signal while having different day-to-day processes and costs—confirm those directly.
